In today's episode we got the honor to speak with one of the founding fathers of our sport, Tom Mosher! I was watching Tom's bike checks, edits, and tutorials while I was just a wee fixie lad in high school 12+ years ago, so it was an absolute pleasure to have him in our virtual studio. We had so much to talk about and seemed to hardly scratch the surface, so I'd encourage you to check out the Patreon bonus episode to check out the extended discussion. Enjoy!
